Pile High
Both timeless and fashionable, the Plum Blossom area rug from Karastan (karastan.com), featuring mocha, pearl and maize branches against a robin's egg blue background, is an absolute stunner. Its textured patterning and delicate blossoms, understated yet interesting, are versatile enough to play nicely with other patterns in the room. In addition to tufted wool and other soft pile rugs, you can also opt for cotton flat pile rugs, or add earthy appeal with natural materials in solid colors, from jute to sisal, bamboo to seagrass.

Tip: Display freshly cut apple blossom branches in a vintage glass vase to play off the pattern on your rug. Gorgeous!
